How to Store Nuts

Nuts have a high oil content that can become rancid quickly and will ruin any dish that they are used in. Store shelled nuts in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 months. For longer storage, place shelled nuts in a freezer-weight resealable plastic bag and store in the freezer for up to 6 months. Do not chop nuts before storing; nuts stay fresh longer when stored in larger pieces.

Special Extra

Garnish with chopped fresh mint just before serving.

Note

This colorful side salad is equally delicious whether served at room temperature or chilled.
